It was hard, but times were tough at the time. I actually had the white '72 K2500 for sale but everyone wanted that blue & white truck. My good friend who has done more favors for me than anyone handed me a load of cash and said the rest will come by the weekend when a car he sold gets paid for and picked up. I was just in his shop yesterday looking at the rolling chassis. The body has been restored and all painted and sitting at the body shop down the road for years, many years. I stopped asking. The shop owner must have plenty of room and he doesn't care. I'd think he sold it and just can't tell me but he has the chassis. He keeps plenty of irons in the fire but he gets things done... except for the old truck. He even built a '70 K/20 with original paint and K/30 running gear recently.
I remember taking my kids to "pavement" to enjoy their various rides. No sidewalks in my neighborhood. Actually, there's no neighborhood, it's country!
You already sais it, but I'm sure your son had a ball
